Increasing the amount of fuel by 28 gallons from 10 to 38 increased the weight by 154 pounds from 2155 to 2309 pounds.
The increase to 52 gallons of fuel is an increase of 14 gallons from 38, which is half the previous increase of 28 gallons. Thus, we expect the increase in weight from 2309 pounds to be half the previous increase, or 154/2 = 77 pounds.
2309 + 77 = 2386 . . . pounds
We expect the airplane to weigh 2386 pounds when it is carrying 52 gallons of fuel.
Answer:
x = 29
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 38 = 20
2x = 20 + 38
2x = 85
x = 58/2
x = 29
You buy 3 shirts and 1 pair of pants for $32. Your friend buys 2 shirts and 3 pairs of pants for $40. How much did each item cost?
First let’s define a shirt as X and pants as Y!
In the first scenario, the equation will be 3X + Y =$32
In the second scenario, the equation will be 2X + 3Y = $40
Now because we have two different variables (X & Y) let’s solve for one of them (Ex: Y) to simplify the equations!
3X + Y= $32—> subtract 3X on both sides of the equation
-3X. - 3X
Net result: Y= 32- 3X
Now we can insert this into the second equation 2X + 3Y = $40 in order to solve for X variable
2X + 3(32-3X) = $40
2X + 96 - 9X = $40 —> simplify the equation
-7X + 96 = $40 —> substrate 96 from both sides
-7X = -56 —> divide both sides by -7
X= 8
Now reinsert 8= X into 3X + Y = $32
3(8) + Y = $32
24+ Y = $32 —> substract 24 from both sides
y = 8
ANSWER: X= 8, Y= 8
If I am wrong I am sorry >_<
Answer:
x ≤ - 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question I solved the inequality for x if that isn't what you are trying to solve for then please let me know and I will update my answer.
Answer:
98
Step-by-step explanation:
the time taken is directly proportional and so we multiply 7 by 56 and the divide the answer by 4 to get 98
